Actually, Rusty, given the rather limited engine
knowledge of many (but not all) of those on that list, they would have
probably thought you meant a radial engine {:>)
Well, the quick responses may mean you priced it
realistically (or too low {:>)).
I well understand your tendency to build. I just
designed, machined and assembled a gadget that will enable me to
"print" solder paste to a PC board, populate it with components and pop it in
the oven. Went out and got an inexpensive convection toaster oven that has
an almost identical heat build up profile to match that of the solder paste I'm
using. No food in my "reflow" oven!
I have the stencil placed over the PC board and the
components all sorted into individual small plastic boxes (used for holding
beads that those engaged with making beaded things use). Boy if I ever
dropped that box, it would hard to find those little critters not to mention
sorting them out again {:>).
So going to get a good night sleep = steady hands and have
a go at it tomorrow. If it works it will considerably reduce the amount of
time and labor involved soldering up a board. If it doesn't - I'll chalk
it up to "lesson learned".
Well, next time have Richard fire off a
flare!!

Sale!
Well, you've finally done it,Rusty. Saw your e
mail on the RV list offering up your RV-8. Now you can come back to the
"Light side of the Force" and get to work on your single lung
rotary.{:>).
Hi
Ed,
Don't
think I didn't see you talking about exhaust valves on the list. I
almost replied to that post, asking who wanted to take advice like that
from someone flying a rotary :-)
There
was some agony involved in actually listing the plane, but it's for the
best. Amazingly, there are already two very serious prospects, and it's
only been for sale for a couple hours. Even more amazingly, one is in
TX, and knows Bill and Jason. Finding the right buyer rarely
happens this quickly, so I'll just expect these to fall through. Still,
hopefully the selling thing won't last too long.
As
for single rotors, I am still waiting for the redrive from Autoflight.
It's coming along, but running a couple weeks behind original estimates.
Since they haven't asked for any money yet, I guess I can forgive them
:-)
Cheers,
Rusty
PS- I
circled Richard's general vicinity for about 5 minutes Sunday, but never did
quite figure out which clearing was his strip. On the way over
there, I did manage to record 184 kts TAS at 800 ft :-)
